Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian.

What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

His pale brown eyes appear as black holes in the shadows and he stands tall, his shoulders squared, hands tucked into the pockets of his frayed jeans, abnormally casual - but the corner of his mouth quirks into a barely visible sneer that curdles my blood." Harry Steel is one of the targets of The Faceless, South London's most brutal gang. You may wonder why such prolific criminals would spend two years waiting on the capture of their nineteen-year-old victim, but the true reasons died along with his brother Ben and the rest of Harry's family. Faced with loss, danger and isolation, Harry rebuilds his life in San Francisco and stays firmly stable until he meets the capricious and enchanting Hope Thorne, who has a dangerous secret. The pair soon realise that in order to stay alive on their terminal journey, their darkest secrets must first die. As the saying goes, you can run, but you can't hide. Copyright © Storm Mann 2013-14
